Showing Original Post only (View all)An argument for Klobuchar as Biden's running mate. [View all]
First off, Amys strong qualifications are a given, as is her very broad Midwestern appeal. But I am also coming around to thinking that people respond unconsciously to what they see, and that a candidates body language is very important. As such, I wonder to what I extent the unstable gestures and mannerisms of some of the candidates may have affected voters perception of them. Sanders and Warren both come to mind.
Klobuchars calm demeanor, her ability to project solidness and warmth as well as seriousness, would reinforce Bidens steadiness. This, in my opinion, could help make for an unstoppable combination in these tumultuous times.
